To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I," HENRY A. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Providence, in the county of Providence, State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new. and useful Improvements in Toy Handkerchief-Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a box-shaped cle adapted to contain" a doll an handkerchiefs, and said article having detachable parts for mounting on the b0 y of the box, in order that the article may act'as artia toy in the form of a miniature doll-bed;

and the object in view is to provide aneat,

compact and attractive little article for young girls use. s

My mvention consists of the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying sheet ofdrawings, Figure 1 re resents a'pers ective. view of my improve toy handkerchief box, showing its detachable parts mounted in position whereb thearticl'e takes the form of a mini-,

ature oll-bed. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the box-body'taken on line 2.-2. of

, Fig. 1, showing the detachable parts mount- 1 ed. in position upon said box-body. Fig. 6

is a perspective view ofthe box-body, showing llZS removable parts detached.therefrom,v

4: is allongitudinal section of the box-v o '1 taken on; ne 4.4.- of Fig. 3, showing the doll; thefhandkerchiefs, the detachable parts o-for the' said box-body, andea removable-cover mounted on the latter," as'indicated byj dotted lines, and, Fig. 5 is'a perspectiveview of the cover.

I Like reference characters 1, indicate like 7 4'0 1 parts.

.a. designates the box-body of my improved article, as a whole, of rectangular form, having a transverse wall a extending parallel to and close to each end a= of the body, so as to provide a narrow opening a? which exf tends between the sides a, a and through the bottom a of said body. This member a childs' cut, is

In combination, the rectangular-shaped is adapted to contain one or moredolls b, b. and several folded handkerchiefs a, c, which rest upon the dolls and'tied together in the usual manner, as by taped.

'e, 6 are flat member's'designed to be inserted through either opening a. of the boxv body a, and each member e, c has a shoulder formed on each edge thereof, as .at f, in Fig, 2, to limit the downwardmovementvof said body a. Thus when the members e, c are mounted on the box-body a, as described, a miniature doll-bed effect is had, in'the manner shown in Fig. 1. When the members 6, e, which actas the bed-supports, are detached from the box-body a they are placed upon 7 the bundle of handkerchiefs, in the manner shown in Fig. 3, and an ordina removable cover 9 is used to close said boxody and its contents, in the manner indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 4.

The box-body a; its detachable members e, 6 and cover g are cardboard and artistical y colored, so that thecombined article forms a very attractive novelty that appeals to little girls use.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters-Patreferably of stifi box-body or adapted to contain a doll and a bundle of handkerchiefs, and said body having a wall a, 'extendin parallel with and near each end a ,thereo and said body pro ,vided with. an opening formed through its bottpm and extending between each wall a v and each end-a as at a a the detachable members e, e for inserting through either openin in said body and each member having a s oulder formed on each edge thereof, as at f, g, to limit the downward movement of said ody.

In testimony wherof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
